Bush adviser Hughes offers her take on president
By Emanuel Parker
Staff Writer

Wednesday, May 26, 2004 - PASADENA -- National security issues will dominate this year's presidential election, which could be decided by a swing vote that has dwindled to 6 percent of the nation's voters, said Karen Hughes The country is so polarized it is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, said Hughes, and swing votes, which have shrunk from 16 percent of votes a few years ago, could determine the election.

"This will be a close election and the stakes are as high as in any election I can remember since I've been an adult," said Hughes, a Bush aide since 1994 when he ran for governor of Texas and also counsel to the president during his first 18 months in the White House. A Dallas newspaper said she was "the most powerful woman ever to serve in the White House."

If she had to choose one word to describe Bush, Hughes said it would be "engaging," and it makes her angry when people call him a lightweight.

"This president has an MBA from Harvard and is the first president in history to have one. He graduated from Yale with a degree in history. His opponents in Texas started downplaying his intelligence, calling him Shrub, the son of a bush, and the myth has continued."

Blech. What a load.

[oldhat]

1. Hey Karen!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. "Fat Karen" needs to just, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!

:mad:

I make no apology for calling her FAT!!!!!!

It's a mild insult compared to what this BEAST said about John Kerry!

[Webster Green]

3. A degree in history????

The mind boggles!

[oldhat]

7. Worthless

Shows you how worthless and overrated a Yale degree is these days.

Same for a Harvard MBA.

I swear, if I was a member of the board of trustees at either Yale or Harvard and I conferred a degree on that illiterate bumblefuck, I'd resign in disgrace.

[StephNW4Clark]

32. Don't say that.

Just like anything that you don't earn, you are what you make of that privilege.

Bush could have learned so much, but coasted as he does every time on his family name.

[burythehatchet]

30. Yeah, the history of the Jack Daniels company

I bet he could do re-enactments of great moments in the distillary's history.

[markses]

4. A measured an objective analysis, I'm sure

:eyes:

[tandot]

5. It is so hard to describe Bush with just one word...

...how about incompetent, moron, idiot, war monger, chicken hawk, war criminal...

engaging??? WTF

[iconoclastic cat]

39. I'm engaged...

in the process of tossing him out! Very engaged!

[Tempest]

6. According to polls, security ranks 3rd on the list of priorities

The economy is first, and the Iraq war is third.

The war on terrorism is way behind those two.

[AlCzervik]

8. I wish Bigfoot Hughes would

explain how a student pulling a gentleman's C could get into Harvard business school legitimately.

[Raster]

20. same way he got into the Texas Air National Guard...

...daddy bought the space for him. gee-dubya has never earned ANYTHING based on merit. His entire lot in life is based on his father's and family's friends and connections.

[trapper914]

9. Abu

Gha--rahahb. Gh-rayahb. Aw, fuck it. Let's just kill us some more brown people. I'll show 'em engagin'.

[Kadie]

10. Karen, I agree with you on one thing...

"This will be a close election and the stakes are as high as in any election I can remember since I've been an adult,"

The stakes are very high, that is why bushie has got to go. See Ya. Bye bye...

[rexcat]

11. An MBA is one of the most over rated degrees that any

univeristy can give out. Most MBAs have had no real business experience prior to receiving their degree. Lots of theroy but no practical experience to back it up.

[TankLV]

34. So if idiot boy has an MBA - what does that make Kerry?!

His degrees must be gold by comparison, huh fat karen?

And I don't think Kerry just scraped by with a C or D, either.

Graduated with honors.

Bet you're pretty steamed about that too, and all those MEDALS he EARNED in VIETNAM while your pussy boy was AWOL!

[Thor_MN]

41. MBA mills are the source of most of the miserable middle managers

Long enough after their undergrad to have forgotten any useful knowledge - stuffed full of "management" theory that holds no relevance to actually managing people. I swear there must be automatic in for people who lack any social skills or common sense.

[peterh]

12. Karen lives in a mythical world…..

the harsh realities of the idiot-in-chief are evident….daily.

[yellowcanine]

13. A degree in history but it is clear he has forgotten most of what he

learned so what good was the degree, Karen? And we don't need his opponents in Texas to tell us what we can see with our own eyes. Nice try, though.

[notadmblnd]

42. Bush doesn't have an educated intellect

what bush has is the education of a shady used care salesman. He has the ability to be both manipulative and devious. He can make a person believe he's their best friend and all the while be shoving the knife in deeper. IOWs, he's a common street thug.

[Working Class Hero]

14. "This president has an MBA from Harvard....

...and is the first president in history to have one."

But Karen --Poppy's influence got him that degree. HE didn't EARN it!

:grr:

[74dodgedart]

16. Got a "gentleman's C"

and can't string together sentences of more than three words.

[Jacobin]

28. And was admitted because he was a "legacy"

He NEVER EVER would have gotten in on his own merit.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

29. A little "affirmative action" at work?

Oh, that's right. He's a Republican, so that's different!

[Eye and Monkey]

35. Diversity. Harvard Biz needed another token Moran.

On edit - I apologize, I should have capitalized the "m" in Moran. I have corrected myself. My failure to capitalize was not a reflection of my true regard for Morans.

[Estel]

15. Who GAS...

(Gives a shit) what BabyBush's nanny thinks?

[UpInArms]

17. Welcome to DU Estel!

:hi:

and I agree - who gives a shit what this gasbag has to say?

[belab13]

18. the ultimate machiavellian

Hughes is a pox on the planet. I don't imagine she has kids.

[Tracer]

19. Obviously, courses in Middle East history ...

... were not part of TurdBoy's curriculum.

[kskiska]

21. Wasn't Karen born in France?

And shouldn't she be back home in Texas taking care of her little boy and elderly husband?

[powergirl]

22. If I were president I wouldn't want to be the "engaging" president

I would want to be the TOUGH, SMART, DON'T F--- WITH ME president. Even Bush's biggest cheerleader can't come up with a better word to describe him. Also, I don't think Bush is physiologically stupid. I just think he does not CARE to learn other things. He'd rather watch sports on tv, clear brush, ride his bike, and get his neocon goons to do all his work for him. He does not have the INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY that a leader of the free world should have.

[truthisfreedom]

23. we don't have to downplay bush's intelligence, karen. he does it all by

his little ol' self.

[MaineDem]

24. U of TX Law School rejected him, no?

And if his MBA is so important why have all his businesses failed?

Karen is so far up his butt that if he stopped short she'd disappear.

That wasn't very ladylike of me but she annoys me to the point of being crude!

[Tellurian]

25. The Repugs Always Send The Women OUT when...

Bush sticks his head in the TOILET!



wimp!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

26. I don't recall anyone asking Karen "Eva Braun" Hughes...

...her opinion on the FratBoy Fuhrer.

[crossroads]

27. Guess what Hughes... the 'engagement' is over

the US is breaking it off this November!

"If she had to choose one word to describe Bush, Hughes said it would be "engaging,"

Karen, I have another word for Bush, and you would not like it!
:kick:

[Missy Vixen]

31. I don't have a college degree, Karen

"This president has an MBA from Harvard and is the first president in history to have one. He graduated from Yale with a degree in history."

I'm sure Karen will be rushing to set this one up, but I'll sit in a room with * and answer questions from a Harvard history prof anytime, anywhere. I got an A+ in my Western Civ class from my community college prof. I think I'll come out ahead. (Maybe after the little history test, the prof can ask * if he's ever heard the phrase, "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.")

Considering the last President of the United States holds a JD from Yale and was a Rhodes Scholar, (and his wife also holds a JD from Yale,) Karen's assertion that * is so incredibly intellectual is a crock.

If it wasn't already evident to those reading, it seems that Karen has quite a crush on Bunnypants.

44. hell I only graduated from highschool (inner-city at that)

Money Buys Anything

[DaveSZ]
